3rd Generation IVF Technology Explained!

According to relevant statistics, from the world's first IVF born in 1978 to the current third generation of IVF, many infertile families have successfully owned their own babies. So what does IVF technology mean?

First of all, let's talk about the first generation of IVF technology, in fact, its correct name should be in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Although it is IVF, in fact, the embryo and the baby are not cultivated in the IVF, but the sperm and eggs are cultivated in a Petri dish for two days, and then the eggs are fertilized, and when the fertilized eggs divide into 4 to 8 cells of the early embryo, it is best to transfer them into the uterus to continue to grow and develop until delivery.

3rd Generation IVF Technology Explained! Look at the classification!

The indications for the first generation of IVF are: blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, ovulation disorders, infertility caused by unexplained infertility and other diseases.

This is followed by the second generation of IVF technology, which is correctly called intracytoplasmic sperm injection-ejection. It means injecting sperm into the cytoplasm of an egg to develop into an early embryo of 4 to 8 cells, which is then transferred into the woman's womb to continue to grow and develop until childbirth.

Indications for second-generation techniques are: oligospermia, weak sperm, malformed sperm, spermatogenesis dysfunction, failure of conventional IVF or no sperm excretion, but a small number of sperm in the semiflex duct.

Finally, the third generation of IVF technology actually becomes a genetic diagnosis before embryo implantation. Like the previous first and second generation IVF techniques, it is necessary to undergo in vitro fertilization to obtain embryos. When the embryos develop to 4 to 8 embryos, one or two embryos are removed with the help of a microscope and genetically examined while maintaining integrity. If it is clear before the embryo transfer that the embryo is free of hereditary diseases and is in a high-quality state, the quality of the baby will be greatly improved.

Its indications are: genetic diseases, chromosomal diseases, single-factor-related genetic diseases, etc.

Finally, patients are reminded that even if the IVF technology is very mature, the success rate is still not guaranteed to be 100%. According to relevant data, the current success rate of IVF has been as high as 70%, so when choosing to do the first few generations, it is best to choose the right one, which can not only improve the success rate, but also have a certain guarantee for their own body and the health of the baby.
